A:
To determine if "Motorious" is available for use as a brand name, you'll need to check if it's already trademarked. Start by searching the official trademark databases, like the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or your country’s equivalent. This will show if someone has already claimed rights to that name.
It’s important to remember that trademarks can cover specific industries or categories. Even if "Motorious" is trademarked in one field, it might still be available in another. Make sure to verify the specific classes or categories that are relevant to your business.
If no conflicting trademark exists, you can move forward with registering it. However, if you find that it's already taken, consider alternative names or legal advice to navigate your options.
